FACTS covers all aspects of crop nutrition including fertiliser choice, regulation, soil science and organic manures. It ensures you can provide up to date advice to maximize crop production whilst minimizing the environmental impact.
At the present time there is no legal requirement for advisers and sellers of fertilizer to be certificated. However, FACTS certification is specifically recognized by DEFRA, the Environment Agency and farm assurance schemes, as well as in literature such as RB209 and the Code of Good Agricultural Practice.
The course covers all aspects of crop nutrition, including developing key skills such as producing nutrient and manure management plans which are required by all farmers applying fertilizer and organic manures in NVZ’s. There are different FACTS courses available which are tailored to specific sectors.
